Spain have qualified for the second round of the ongoing 2024 UEFA European Championship
The Luis de la Fuente side became the second team to book the competition knockout ticket after defeating Italy 1-0 at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on Thursday.
A second-half own goal conceded by Riccardo Carlafiori was the sole difference, sending Spain top of Group B with six points. Italy, the defending champions, cut a timid apparition of themselves throughout the game, and the scoreline was kept respectable by Gianluigi Donnarumma’s saves.But even the goalkeeper was helpless in the 55th minute after he had gone down to save a header from Alvaro Morata, and the ball ricocheted off the shin of Carlafiori and into the net.
In the other games of the day, England were dealt a reality check and held to a 1-1 draw against Denmark.Advertisement Shortly, the Danes responded with a sublime strike from Marten Hjulmand from 30 yards out. The shot flew beyond the stretched limb of Jordan Pickford into the net.
